mountain obstructs Station 2's line-of-sight and would attenuate the RF signal or prevent wireless communications
completely
Other Communication Options
WeatherHawk Signature Series weather stations can use other communications options if the application requires it.
Other options include an IP server module that can send the data to an Ethernet making it accessible on a network.
This option requires the purchase of a WeatherHawk IP server module, and the presence of an ethernet cable at the
module location. Cellular communications can also be used to send the data from a location that is not within radio
transmission range of the host computer. This option requires the purchase of a cellular modem, and cellular
coverage at the site location. Another option is the use of satellite communication. This option requires purchasing
the necessary hardware and a clear sky view from the station.
Pre-Installation Tests
Upon receiving a WeatherHawk weather station, it is a good idea to run some communication and software tests to
ensure the system is working properly before permanently installing the station in the field. In order to test the
system, the host computer will need an available serial port or a USB port with a serial-to-USB converter. A serial-
to-USB converter is available for purchase from WeatherHawk if necessary. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for pre-
installation tests.
